School issues

Well school has been going quite well overall for Lucy, until this past Tuesday. We got the dread letter in the folder that described very naughty kindergarten behavior: squirting water on fellow students at lunch and (much worse) purposefully kicking other students at recess. I told Lucy that she would have no dessert or starfall time, and gave her a "timeout" while I was making dinner, so she had to just sit and watch me (and help set the table etc) rather than play with her toys. She very solemnly promised that she would be better the next day. On Wednesday, I kept in touch with her teacher through the day, and was happy to hear that Lucy was back to her normal, nice self. Apparently Lucy also thought she was much improved, because when she arrived home she pulled out her folder and the school newsletter that was inside, held it in front of her as if reading it, and said, "Lucy very good today. Can have dessert and watch videos!"
